Offering a flexible, grounded therapeutic space, shaped around what you need.
About Adult Counselling
Counselling offers a confidential space to talk with a trained professional about experiences from your past or present that may be affecting you. My role is to help you explore what’s happening and support you in shifting patterns or ways of being that no longer feel helpful.
Everyone’s process is different, so the number of sessions varies. I offer open‑ended counselling, allowing the work to unfold at a pace that feels right for you.
Areas where counselling can help
I support adults and young people (11–18) with a wide range of concerns, including:
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Relationships and communication
- Stress and anxiety management
- Coping with change
- Bereavement and loss support
- Past or present abuse
- Identity and self-discovery
- Challenges around neurodivergence
You don’t need to be facing a crisis to benefit from counselling. Many clients attend therapy because they feel dissatisfied with aspects of their life and want support in developing strategies for living more fully and effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I come to counselling?
I usually recommend weekly sessions for new clients. Meeting weekly helps therapy maintain continuity, build rapport, and provide a predictable, safe space. It also gives you time to reflect, try out new strategies, and work through challenges as they come. Over time, some clients choose to move to every other week once they feel more settled.
what kind of people go to counselling?
There is no one type of person that benefits from counselling and I welcome the opportunity to work with you regardless of your culture, religion, gender, age or sexual orientation.
What if I can only attend a session online?
I believe therapy is often most effective face-to-face, but I also offer online sessions if that feels more convenient for you. We can even combine face-to-face and online sessions to best fit your needs.
how many sessions will i need?
This is up to you and is something we will discuss on a continual basis. I do recommend that we initially commit to a minimum of 6 sessions together.
How do I make payment to you?
Payment can be made via bank transfer. For the first session only, I ask that payment is made at the point of booking. After that, I request payment at least 24 hours before your scheduled session.
Are you recognised by any private health insurers?
I am an approved Counsellor with Vitality Health, meaning clients with Vitality cover may be able to use their insurance for sessions.
How do i find you?
I can be found a 25 minute walk from Epsom town centre, alternatively the E10 bus route operates every 30 minutes from outside Epsom station and the Granton Court stop is a 3 minute walk to my practice. The bus timetable can be found here - https://www.metrobus.co.uk/services/MB/E10?date=2022-10-15&direction=inbound
Alternatively you can park for free on the road on Glanville Way.
what happens in the first session?
In the first session we'll discuss the terms of our sessions so that we can ensure we work together ethically and safely. The first session is also an opportunity for you to help me understand why you have chosen to attend therapy.
i am interested, what do i do now?
Click the 'Contact Me' button below, and send me a message. We can then arrange a time to speak on the phone for 15-20 minutes so that you can understand more about me and how I work, and so that I can carry out a short assessment with you, to ensure I am the right therapist for you.
